If given the chance, pay attention to the lighting next time you're watching a favorite show or movie. You'll notice something important. Hollywood, masters of the sub-conscience, pays a lot of attention to lamps and how they are used in a shot. Why? Because, they may not be picked up as the center of attention, they set the mood and over all opinion of the brain through an ambiance. Plus, a good table lamp isn't obvious, where as an out of place table lamp is hard to avoid.

In other words, table lamps are easy to overlook, but they are immensely important.

Table lamps, for instance, are popular additions to any living room. They can be used to adorn a simple chair side end table, as well as bring focal emphasis to any room that lacks one. Table lamps also provide a direct source of lighting where it is needed, particularly when you need the extra brightness for reading or sewing. Bedside lamps are also good additions to bedrooms, when you need only one specific area of the room lighted.
